Over half of working parents fear their performance is being unfairly evaluated, working 3+ extra hours
If you’ve been living in a cave you might not have noticed that the world is effectively shut down and a really average film from years ago, Contagion has suddenly seen more action than it ever did in theaters.
With that parents who can work from home are pulling double duty and logging more time and hours while feeling more scrutiny. Here’s a quick writeup up a survey from Blind, who has opened a working parent channel to discuss frustrations, stories, and the like.
Below is a cut and paste from the email I got.
Blind, an anonymous professional network, with 3.2M verified users, took to the platform and asked our users three questions:
- Are you a parent and working from home with a child?
- How many additional hours does it take to complete your typical workday deliverables?
- Are you concerned your performance is being inequitably compared to your colleagues?
Key Findings as of 4/06 (~6,163 Responses):
- 53.3% of surveyed professionals are working from home with a child
- 61% of surveyed working parents are working 3+ additional hours to complete their typical workday deliverables
